Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a simulation-based bus width and cache configuration optimization approach for two-level caches. First, we show that we can consider the cache hit/miss judgement and the bus width optimization independently. Second, the cache hit/mis judgments can be done effectively by applying our CRCB techniques. Then we show several properties for cache and bus width and propose an effective bus width optimization approach based on them. We have developed a system that optimizes cache and bus configuration where total memory access time or total energy consumption is minimized. Our proposed approach totally runs a maximum of 835.91 faster compared to the simple exhaustive approach.
